- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon Himalayan pink salt

Toasted Almonds:

Instructions
Prep:

Maple Dijon Vinaigrette:
- In a small bowl, mix the maple dressing ingredients together and set aside.
Toasted Almonds:
- Heat coconut oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add nuts. Stir constantly for approximately 3-5 minutes (less time if your nuts are finely chopped) until the nuts are evenly coated in the coconut oil and are toasted. It’s important to stir constantly or the nuts will burn. Remove nuts from heat and set aside.
